Unfortunately, the quality of stories here is mostly the same as the first two issues, (I. e. not great). The first story here, The Moon Terror, was bad enough that I could barely finish it, and most of the others were the same sort of mediocre adventure stories that I mentioned in my last review. The few bright spots were the two reprinted stories and The Room Above, which might be the first truly great story the magazine ever published (although The Basket, back in the first issue, comes close). The only other stories of any real note are Penelope and The Purple Heart, which are at least weird, unlike the rather mundane stories that make up the rest of the issue.
